[P4 Science Topic: Heat] We often use water inside of Grade A fire extinguishers because of its incredible thermal capacity. But is it possible to burn and ignite things using water?

Apparently, yes. You can use water to set things on fire. Anyone who's studied GCSE level Science, should know the principles behind a flame - Heat, oxygen and fuel. As long as these three components are fulfilled, it doesn't matter what it is - Fires start and things burn.

(For those interested in a safety course / a diploma in safety management, this is very important!)
